Default 98GS4 power steering pump!

Riddle me this, anyone!! Having to compensate for mods stiffening the suspension (i. e. - coilovers, performance and sway bars for front and rear w/new bushings), won't that put added stress to the power steering pump and cause it to go out prematurely??

if you get everything realigned properly i don't see why not....an overly heavy set of wheels toed way in/out, outside factory spec is really the only way to put THAT much stress on the p/s pump. If anything i would think stiffening the suspension a little will help out the steering system, leaving less slack in the steering for the pump to have to compensate for.
